Almost the same ingredients as this week’s Morappam, but a small twist here and the cooking method yields a totally different snack. My love for Gujarati cuisine is yet to be documented on this blog, but I had bookmarked Kanan’s recipe long ago. Early one morning my mom asked me to make something nice for the evening snack, and it was quite a surprise as she’s least fussy or demanding about food. I quickly prepped for the evening snack knowing like me, she prefers steamed food too.
So, if you are a fan of steamed food like us, read the recipe. And do check out more steamed food options below.

Lets get to today’s snack
Khatta Dhokla – Gluten Free and proteinicious snack
Course : Breakfast / snack / light meal | Cuisine : Gujarati (Indian)
Protein source : Urad dal, Curds
Prep time : 15 mins, soaking + fermentation time : 12 hours ; serves : 3

Urad dal – 1/4 cup

Mustard seeds – 1/2 tsp
Topping:
Roasted cumin powder
Crushed black pepper
Red chilli powder

Method:
- Wash and soak rice and dal for 4 hours. I soaked them in hot water in an airtight vacuum casserole to speed up the soaking. Grind to a smooth thick paste, and ferment add yoghurt ,salt and or 8 hours (I fermented for only 6 hours as it was really humid that day).
- Beat well, add the soda, oil, green chilly paste, top with the spice powders, coriander leaves, mix and steam in a deep thick walled greased plate for 12-15 mins or till a fork / skewer comes clean.
- Cool. Splutter the mustard seeds in the oil, and add the roasted sesame seeds to it.

Yet to try this Khatta Dhokla, am a great fan of Khaman dhokla and am sure this gluten free dhokla will definitely please my tastebuds.
We are great fans of Dhoklas , and I have tried many versions too , but the quest to try a new one never goes . The Edada that we make are almost the same recipe , but a different tempering which makes all the difference in the world . Love your thali of Dhoklas , I am loving it .
We too love dhoklas and your version looks out of hte world. Such an awesome spread, guilt free too!

Kalyani you're making me feel hungry. Haven't made these in a long time. We usually make them along with aam ras and puri.
I am with you on the love for Gujarati snacks…a Bombay thing I guess. This dhokla looks very tempting….and my attempts have usually been close to disastrous. Bookmarking this to try. Fingers crossed!
